King James Version
Guard
your
steps
when you
go
to God's
house ;
for
to
draw
near
to listen
is
better
than to give the sacrifice of fools ,
for they don't
know
that they do evil.
Keep
thy
foot
when thou
goest
to the
house of
God,
and
be
more
ready
to hear,
than to give the sacrifice of fools :
for they consider
not
that they do evil.

be rash with your
mouth, and don't
let your
heart be hasty to utter anything
before God ;

on
earth .
Therefore let your
words be few.
Be not
rash with thy
mouth, and let not
thine
heart be hasty to utter any
thing
before God :
for God is in heaven, and thou
upon
earth :
therefore let thy
words be few.
For as
a dream comes
with
a
multitude of cares,

a fool's voice
is
known
by
multitude of words.
When you
vow
a vow to
God, don't
defer to pay it; for he has
no pleasure in fools .
Pay that which you
vow
.
When thou
vowest
a vow unto
God, defer not
to pay it; for he hath
no pleasure in fools :
pay that which thou
hast
vowed
.
It
is
better that you
should
not vow, than that you
should
vow and not pay.
Better is
it
that thou
shouldest
not vow, than that thou
shouldest
vow and not pay.
Don't
allow
your
mouth to lead
you
into
sin .
Don't
protest
before the messenger
that this
was a
mistake.
Why
should God be angry at your
voice, and destroy the work of your
hands?
Suffer
not
thy
mouth to cause
thy
flesh
to
sin ;
neither
say
thou
before the angel,
that it
was an
error:
wherefore
should God be angry at thy
voice, and destroy the work of thine
hands?
For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities ,
as
well
as

fear God.

many
words
there are also
divers
vanities: but fear thou
God.
If you
see
the oppression of the poor, and the
violent taking
away

and righteousness
in a district

official

higher one
; and there are
officials
over
them
.
If thou
seest
the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting
of judgment
and justice
in a province

at the matter: for he

is higher than
the
highest
regardeth
; and there be
higher
than
they
.

loves
silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who

abundance with increase: this is also

who
eat
them
are increased ;
and what advantage
is there to its
owner
, except
to
feast
on
them with his
eyes?

them:

him ;

him in
the joy of his heart.
